#244: Add Changelog summary feature to sdist ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by guest): Anyway, to move things forward: It isn't all that hard for most VCSes to extract 'everything since the last tag'. As a matter of fact, I found it relatively easy to write a library/executable to do this for Darcs, Gits, and Mercurial. (Subversion and CVS are both much more difficult, and I just couldn't be bothered for Monotone, Codeville, or Bazaar.) You can find it here: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/change- monger-0.0 I hope y'all will consider incorporating the code into Cabal, or at least maybe adding some sort of option. -- gwern -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/244#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
